The present era of car industry requires technologies that can save every drop of fuel. Car owners look for highly fuel-efficient cars and advancements that can help them save fuel to the maximum.
Seeing the demand of fuel-efficient cars, Ford has introduced a new technology that contributes to improve vehicles mileage. It comprises an ideal gear shift indicator that works in a relatively easy fashion in association with the in-built sensors. The sensors in the gearshift detect the road gradient, car load, and the way car is being driven. Based on these detections, the gear shift indicator sends signal to the driver to inform about the ideal gear switch moment.
This indicator not only helps to cut fuel costs but also reduces carbon dioxide emissions. Offering enhanced mileage, the Ford system continuously monitors the car to optimize gear change activity. Studies and researches have revealed that swift and optimum gear movement greatly reduces fuel consumption, and the Ford’s new system works in response to the uncovered automotive secret.
Though this new system has not yet travelled to India. But, it would be fitted in Ford Fiesta ECOnetic, Mondeo ECOnetic, Ford Transit and Transit Connect TDCi diesel models. In India, it may make its debut in near future.
Fuel efficient cars are gaining importance.It may not be that important for the higher class people but people belonging to middle class will definitely look into. Now many car manufacturers are working on fuel efficient cars.
Hmmm.. wonderful invention by ford, its surely gonna be a revolution in auto industry.This embedded system will change the way people are going to drive. Less polluting i suppose, but when fitted with the cars, is it gonna cost more?
But in which Indian cars would the Ford's new system be fitted?
